FUNCTIONAL USE
victim is still alive, such as sexual assault, where the whole process could
change as a result of having a person to talk to. I would like to know the
steps taken in each of these types of cases and how each is manipulated to
adhere to these different types of criminals.
known about these type of criminals because this crime is a lot more
common than others so there is a larger pool of subjects to develop a
profile from. Studies that show that the average rapist is usually under
the age of 25 unless they are sadistic, then they are over 30. They are
usually male and approximately 6 feet tall with a, average intelligence
level. They have a stable job and a normal personality type, someone
who you would never suspect would do this kind of thing. There are 4
main types of rapists, power reassurance, power assertive, angerretaliatory, and sadistic. Power reassurance rapists are the least
violent of the bunch who only assault victims to re-establish they
dominance and boost their self-esteem sexually. They exhibit nonaggressive behavior and often choose victims geographically close to
them. The next category of rapist is the power-assertive ones. These
individuals usually exhibit aggressive, but nonlethal behavior towards
their victims. These individuals have no problem with their masculinity
and often select victims around the same age as them. They are
geographically mobile meaning that they are not limited to choosing
victims within their own neighborhood. The third category is the
anger-retaliatory rapists. These individuals often show high levels of
short, extreme aggression. They believe that the woman has
committed a wrong doing against them, whether true or not, and that
they are using this as a form of punishment. The last category, which
is the most extreme, is the anger-excitation, or sadistic rapists. These
are the individuals that show extreme brutality on their victims that
usually result in the death of the victim. They get off on torturing their
victims and their main motivation is to inflict pain and fear into them.
The offender in this case will typically not even know the victim; they
will just lash out in anger whenever they get pissed off. They are also
usually members of a high society, typically white, married, and upper
class. It is also very common for drugs and/or alcohol to be involved at
the time of the attack7.
Reflection
I have gained a lot of new knowledge from all of the research
that I have done in order to make this paper possible. There are things
that I learned that not in a million years would I have ever known if I
had not completed this paper. I will remember all of this information
for a lifetime to come and will apply it to many other sources.
Hopefully I can take my information and secure a shadowing
opportunity with a criminal profiler in the future. I would also like to
start taking entrance level psychology courses so that way by the time
I am eligible to take it in college I will already have prior knowledge
and can start out at a more advanced level. As for a career in this
field, it is definitely an option that I am strongly considering. I have
reviewed the statistics of the job and found that the demand is rapidly
increasing and the pay is very respectable. With this information that I
